Ok just had another look and Google says 7 miles to the southern tip (and that's obviously in a straight line)!
Thanks for warning me before I made an attempt.
-
Anyone have any experience of riding there from Weymouth train station? It doesn't look that far on a map, but on a trials bike i'm thinking it may be hard...
Also, which part of the 'island' is the 'bill' located?
-
Ads - A 2.3 (true width, not some bullshit made up 2.7 width) DK or RK = the perfect tyre? Wanna get one made for us?
That would be excellent.
-
Anyone know what the weather's like? Has it snowed in Bristol?
-
Hey I will come, may not be there until 12ish though. Anyone else going?
-
Gutted I missed the train by about 30 seconds and the next one's not until half 3...
Weather is mint.
Not want I wanted to hear!
-
I'll probably be there only for a couple of hours though.
-
Just a quick edit of local riders filmed over the past few days:
-
well i'm driving in so i think i'm going to park at or near the train station. Is that any good for you??
Yeah thats cool, if i can make it i'll be getting the train anyway, just wondered where to meet.
-
May be up for this, from around 5.30ish - where do you reckon you're riding first/meeting?
-
Me and a few others from Frome should be going, getting there about 11 30ish.
-
I've got an XT Shadow mech for sale.
-
Me and one or two others are definately going now, the weather looks good too, where is everyone meeting? 11am at train station/big 3 steps?
-
Yeah i'd like to ride Bristol on sunday, i'd could probably be there at about 11ish.
-
Any chance someone could pm me their phone number so i can find everyone as my train doesn't get in until 12 30?
-
Is anyone still riding Bristol tomorrow?
-
Yeah it was ok between the torrential downpours! - Looks like the weather forecast was pretty spot on this time...
-
I should be there at about 11, hopefully the weather will be ok...
-
Bristol on monday sounds good...
-
Yeah the kenda nevegal tyre is super grippy and you can get it in a few different bead/casing options. I used the 2.35 version and it was almost as big as a 2.5 maxxis.

Not been past it for a few weeks but they have dumped loads of rocks and various other lumps by the side of the lock gates at cumberland basin, may be worth a look if you are driving from the south side of town for your ride.
Yeah i was riding there yesterday there's loads of cool lines there now, me and a few others should be coming on sunday.
-
What bashring is that i want a 4 bolt one to guard a 22t ring?
Sorry i'm not sure - i got it second hand ages ago. They seem quite hard to find now although i think Truvativ might still make one...
-
takes me back. is that recently been made? hows gary doing? they still made frome way?
Yeah fresh from the workshop, Gary was really helpful with customising the geometry etc, and also yeah still made just outside Frome.
Nice clean frame lines on that T1
the rise of that thomsen stem is questionably low.Haha yeah 0 rise, but it all works out as it counters the extra height of the forks, and the BB is around +5, so the BB to bars feel is still pretty trialsy.

That's really nice, I like the stealthy look. If you wouldn't mind, would you be able to measure the "reach" of the frame? Also, what's tyre clearance like with the Der Kaiser?
